Well, Starbucks has made it official. It’s pumpkin season! LOL!
Even if the weather hasn’t quite changed where you live (it’s still in the 90s for me!), chances are you’re starting to crave all those fabulous fall flavors. While most of us associate fall with the pumpkin spice seasoning ubiquitous in frothy coffee drinks, pumpkin itself is an amazing addition to both sweet and savory dishes. One cup of cooked, mashed pumpkin provides a whopping 245% of our DV for vitamin A (as vitamin A precursors like beta-carotene); 20% of our DV for vitamin C; 15% of our DV for potassium; about 10% for vitamin E, vitamin B2, copper, and manganese; and at least 5 percent for vitamins B1, B3 B5, B6, and B9 (folate), iron, magnesium, and phosphorus; plus nearly 3 grams of fiber! Not too shabby for only 49 calories and a puny glycemic load of 3! Not only does pumpkin boast impressive nutrient stats, but it also tastes delicious and is very versatile as this round-up easily demonstrates!
In celebration of the season, I’ve rounded up a bunch of my favorite pumpkin recipes from my talented recipe-blogging friends! These include sweets, breakfasts, drinks and even some savory dishes to make the most of the pumpkins coming into season now.
These recipes are bursting with flavor, and as a bonus, they’re all AIP!
